From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name Al-Ghaffar

Meaning

Al-Ghaffar means the Ever-Forgiving: the One who forgives again and again, however often His servants return to Him.

Understanding the Name

The root gh-f-r means to cover and to protect, like a helmet (mighfar) that covers the head. Al-Ghaffar covers our sins, hides them from others and shields us from their consequences. The form ghaffar stresses repetition: His forgiveness is not given once only, but every time we sincerely repent. The Prophet Nuh (Noah) told his people: “Ask forgiveness of your Lord; indeed, He is ever Forgiving” (Nuh 71:10).

No one should despair because of the number of his sins. The door of Al-Ghaffar stays open until the last breath, and every sincere return is welcomed.

Effects and reflections

We should develop within ourselves the qualities of forgiveness, of overlooking others’ mistakes and of hiding their small faults. This removes mutual differences between people. Avoiding a quarrel is better than taking part in it.

Treatment (Amal)

A person who recites “Yā Ghaffār” 1,392 times after the Jumu‘ah prayer, and 100 times daily after the Asr prayer, will have his sins forgiven, Insha’Allah.

1,392 times after Jumu‘ah

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

treatment using name al-musawwir

Meaning

Al-Musawwir means the Fashioner, the Shaper of Forms: the One who gives every creature its unique shape and appearance.

Understanding the Name

The root s-w-r means form and image. Al-Musawwir gives each being its own face, colour and form, so that no two are exactly alike. Allah says: “It is He who shapes you in the wombs however He wills” (Al ‘Imran 3:6), and “He formed you and perfected your forms” (Ghafir 40:64).

Looking at the endless variety of faces, flowers and creatures, the believer praises the Fashioner. Remembering this Name also teaches contentment with how Allah has made us, and gratitude for the beauty in His creation.

Treatment (Amal)

A woman who fasts for seven days, breaks her fast with a drink of water, and recites “Yā Musawwir” 347 times will, by Allah’s will, be blessed with a son.

الْبَارِئُ

Al-Bari

The Maker
یا بارئ کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value213
  • ReciteYā Bāri’
  • Count224

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name Al-Baari

Meaning

Al-Baari means the Maker, the Originator: the One who brings creation into being, distinct and free of flaws, and makes each thing fit for its purpose.

Understanding the Name

While Al-Khaliq refers to planning and measuring creation, Al-Baari refers to bringing it into actual existence, separate and distinct from everything else, without any defect. The Name appears in Al-Hashr 59:24 between Al-Khaliq and Al-Musawwir, and the Prophet Musa (Moses) told his people to repent “to your Maker (Bari’ikum)” (Al-Baqarah 2:54).

A believer who reflects on Al-Baari understands that he was made deliberately and lovingly, and that his true worth lies in fulfilling the purpose for which he was made.

Treatment (Amal)

A woman who wishes to have a child but has not been able to should fast for seven days, and each day after iftar recite this Name 224 times, with Durood Shareef at the beginning and the end. Insha’Allah, Allah will bless her with a son.

Ya Khaliq Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Khaliq (The Creator)

Name 11 of 99 · Asma ul Husna
الْخَالِقُ

Al-Khaliq

The Creator
یا خالق کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value731
  • ReciteYā Khāliq
  • Count742

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name AL-Khaliq

Meaning

Al-Khaliq means the Creator: the One who brings everything into existence from nothing, according to a perfect plan and measure.

Understanding the Name

The root kh-l-q means to create and to measure out. Al-Khaliq decides what will exist, in what form, and at what time. The Qur’an says: “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian over all things” (Az-Zumar 39:62). Together with Al-Bari and Al-Musawwir, this Name describes the stages of creation (Al-Hashr 59:24).

Every person, every leaf and every star is a sign pointing to its Creator. Reflecting on Al-Khaliq removes arrogance from the heart: we did not create ourselves, and everything we have came from Him.

Effects and reflections

All creatures are the work of the Creator; each one was a secret in the knowledge of Allah and was brought into being at its appointed time.

If you ask an ‘arif (a Sufi who knows Allah) his name, he will reply, “I am a creature.” Ask him, “Whose creature?” and he will say, “The Creator’s.” Ask again, “Who is the Creator?” and he will answer, “The Creator of all creatures, the One and Unique: Allah.”

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever recites this Name 742 times daily for 7 days will be protected from all evils. Whoever recites it often will find his face becoming bright with light (noor).

Recite
Yā Khāliq, 742 times
Duration

Benefit
Protection from evils; a radiant face

Ya Mutakabbir Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Mutakabbir (The Supreme in Greatness)

Name 10 of 99 · Asma ul Husna
الْمُتَكَبِّرُ

Al-Mutakabbir

The Supreme in Greatness
یا متکبر کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value162
  • ReciteYā Mutakabbir
  • Count173

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name Al-Mutakabbir

Meaning

Al-Mutakabbir means the Supreme in Greatness, the Majestic: the One to whom all true greatness belongs, and who is far above every creature.

Understanding the Name

Pride (kibr) is blameworthy in people, because they have nothing that was not given to them. In Allah, greatness is simply the truth: all greatness is His by right. In a Hadith Qudsi Allah says that grandeur (kibriya’) is His cloak and greatness (‘azamah) His garment, and whoever competes with Him in either will be punished. The Name is mentioned in Al-Hashr 59:23.

Knowing Al-Mutakabbir humbles the believer. The more he recognises the greatness of his Lord, the more he lowers himself before Him, and the more Allah raises him in honour.

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever recites “Yā Mutakabbir” 173 times morning and evening will be blessed by Allah with respect and honour, and will be successful in his affairs.

Recite
Yā Mutakabbir, 173 times
When

الْجَبَّارُ

Al-Jabbar

The Compeller
یا جبار کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value206
  • ReciteYā Jabbār
  • Count217

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatmen using name Al-Jabbar

Meaning

Al-Jabbar means the Compeller and the Restorer: the All-Powerful and Supreme, who also mends what is broken and comforts the broken-hearted.

Understanding the Name

The root j-b-r has two beautiful meanings. One is power and compelling force: nothing happens against Allah’s will. The other is mending, as when a broken bone is set (jabira). So Al-Jabbar is the Supreme One who also heals hearts, restores what was lost and lifts up those who are crushed. The Name is mentioned in Al-Hashr 59:23.

Between the two prostrations of prayer the Prophet ﷺ would ask Allah: wajburni, “mend me”. Whoever feels broken by loss, failure or oppression can turn to Al-Jabbar, who is able to repair what no one else can.

Treatment (Amal)

Reciting “Yā Jabbār” 217 times every morning and evening will, by Allah’s will, protect the reciter from his enemies.

Ya Aziz Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Aziz (The Almighty)

Name 8 of 99 · Asma ul Husna
الْعَزِيزُ

Al-Aziz

The Almighty
یا عزیز کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value94
  • ReciteYā ‘Azīz
  • Count105

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name Al-Aziz

Meaning

Al-Aziz means the Almighty, the Mighty and Overpowering: the One who is invincible, whom no one can defeat or harm, and who is above everything.

Understanding the Name

The root ‘-z-z means might, honour and rarity. Al-Aziz is the One whose power cannot be overcome and whose honour can never be lowered. The Qur’an often joins this Name with Al-Hakeem, the All-Wise (for example Al-Hashr 59:24), to show that His might is always used with perfect wisdom. Allah says: “And to Allah belongs all honour, and to His Messenger and to the believers” (Al-Munafiqun 63:8).

Real honour (izzah) is not found in money or position; it is a gift from Al-Aziz to those who obey Him. A weak person who connects himself to the Almighty becomes strong and respected by His permission.

Treatment (Amal)

A weak person who recites this Name 105 times after every prayer for 40 days, with Durood Shareef at the beginning and the end, will, by Allah’s will, become respected and rich.

Recite
Yā ‘Azīz, 105 times

Ya Muhaymin Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Muhaymin (The Guardian, The Protector)

Name 7 of 99 · Asma ul Husna
الْمُهَيْمِنُ

Al-Muhaymin

The Guardian, The Protector
یا مہیمن کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value145
  • ReciteYā Muhaymin
  • Count156

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name Al-Muhaimin

Meaning

Al-Muhaimin means the Guardian, the Watchful Protector: the One who watches over His creatures, preserves them and takes care of all their affairs.

Understanding the Name

Al-Muhaimin is the One who oversees everything, witnesses everything and protects everything. The Qur’an uses the same word for itself, as a guardian over the earlier scriptures (Al-Ma’idah 5:48), because it preserves and confirms the truth within them. The Name is mentioned in Al-Hashr 59:23.

Nothing about us is hidden from Al-Muhaimin, and nothing slips out of His care. This gives the believer both comfort and caution: comfort because he is always protected, and caution because he is always watched. It inspires a person to keep both his outer and inner life clean.

Effects and reflections

People only guard what is valuable and precious. Through this Name it becomes clear that human beings are precious in the sight of Allah, since He Himself is their Guardian.

Treatment (Amal)

A person in need should take a bath (ghusl), pray two rak‘at of nafl, and then recite this Name 156 times. By Allah’s will, his outer and inner being will be purified.

Before
Bath and two rak‘at nafl
Recite
Yā Muhaymin, 156 times
Benefit
Purification of the outer and inner self

Ya Mumin Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Mu’min (The Giver of Faith and Security)

Name 6 of 99 · Asma ul Husna
الْمُؤْمِنُ

Al-Mu’min

The Giver of Faith and Security
یا مؤمن کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value136
  • ReciteYā Mu’min
  • Count147

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name Al-Mumin

Meaning

Al-Mu’min means the Giver of Faith and Security: the One who is perfect peace and safety in Himself, and who grants peace and security to all His creatures.

Understanding the Name

The Name comes from the root a-m-n, which gives both iman (faith) and aman (safety). Al-Mu’min is the One who places faith in the hearts of His servants and who keeps them safe from fear. He confirms His promise and never breaks it. He is named in Al-Hashr 59:23.

When the heart is filled with faith, fear loses its grip. Remembering Al-Mu’min reminds us that real security comes from Allah alone, not from wealth, people or power. The believer who trusts Him feels safe even in the most frightening situations.

Effects and reflections

Allah is the Giver of peace, and every creature receives its peace from Him. He is so loving towards His servants that He grants them peace and security.

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever recites this Name 147 times with full concentration at a time of fear will, Insha’Allah, be protected from that fear and from every kind of loss.

Ya Salam Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – As-Salam (The Source of Peace)

Name 5 of 99 · Asma ul Husna
السَّلَامُ

As-Salam

The Source of Peace
یا سلام کے فوائد، معنی اور وظیفہ
  • Abjad value131
  • ReciteYā Salām
  • Count142

From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Treatment using name As-Salam

Meaning

As-Salam means the Source of Peace and Safety: the One who is eternally safe from every defect, and who gives safety and peace to His creatures.

Understanding the Name

The root s-l-m means peace, soundness and safety; the words Islam and Muslim come from the same root. Paradise is called Dar as-Salam, the Home of Peace (Yunus 10:25), and its people will be greeted with “Salam”. After every obligatory prayer the Prophet ﷺ would say: Allahumma antas-Salam wa minkas-salam, “O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace.”

Whenever a believer greets another with As-salamu alaykum, he is in fact calling upon this Name of Allah for his brother. A heart that knows As-Salam finds calm in difficulty, and spreads peace rather than harm wherever it goes.

Effects and reflections

Believers use this blessed Name when they greet one another, and both of them receive its benefit. No one can fully explain the word Salam; we can only say that it means “may safety be upon you”.

When we say Salam to a sick person, it carries the prayer “may you soon be healthy”. When we say it to a poor person, it means “may Allah make you rich”. And when we say it to a troubled person, it means “may Allah grant you peace and security”.

Treatment (Amal)

Whoever recites this Name 142 times over a sick person will, by Allah’s will, help him regain his health, and the reciter himself will also benefit.

Yā Salām, 142 times
How
